Spent the day wandering from bookstore to bookstore here in NYC, trying to spot the paperback of WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES. I get the biggest thrill finding a new book in my favorite shops. Thank you so much McNally Jackson, Books Are Magic, The Strand Bookstore, B&N Union Square, and P&T Knitwear

“Imagine Sam Raimi directing the January 6th riots”
JUST THE FAX
This book is a delight in the most gross and uncomfortable ways
I also really like the fact that Fax News makes in appearance in Clay's short story collection, Aquired Taste. So if you read Wake Up And Open Your Eyes and you're like, "I need more of this nightmare," get Aquired Taste!!
Oh! And it’s awesome…
It is definitely a doozy. Clay forgot to add that it is also awesome. Snag a cool paperback edition now!
💙📚🩸
It’s a road trip book!

Folks, it's a good one!
If nothing else, it's a book about family.
Not my family, but still, family.
You need a teddy bear
Good lord I can only imagine
As a lifelong horror nerd whose day job has been covering far-right extremism for the past decade, it felt like this novel was plucked straight from my brain at times.
wonderfully deranged book, highly recommend.
Today is the release of the (stunning) paperback edition of my horror novel WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES and I’m hoping you might pick up a copy. Makes a great Thanksgiving dinner conversation starter with your family. Available wherever scury scury books are sold. @quirkbooks.bsky.social
fingerrrrzzzzzzz
I don't NEED the paperback version of Wake Up And Open Your Eyes but...there aren't any little holes for me to put my fingers through the cover of the hardcover!!! @claymcleod.bsky.social
As part of The Summer of Stephen King series, River Oaks Theatre will show PET SEMATARY on June 10 at 6 pm, followed by a discussion with @ericvespe.bsky.social, @claymcleod.bsky.social, @comptonwrites.bsky.social and me. The panel will be moderated by Brazons Bookstore's Keaton Patterson.
So cool to meet Kylie Lee Baker in person at The Twisted Spine tonight to celebrate the release of JAPANESE GOTHIC, in conversation with Chloe Gong. Plus Rachel gave me a tote.
Gonna spend my afternoon signing these endpapers for the SOFT FLOTSAM, TENDER JETSAM chapbook before shipping off to artist Chris Panatier. Only 276 of these will be in existence, which is pretty wild. Rumor has it the box it was delivered in has carried every chapbook Rapture Publishing has made…
📚 Bodies of Work by Clay McLeod Chapman
Published by @titanbooks.bsky.social
A disturbing, symbolic novella that blends serial killer horror with something more psychological and surreal.
This one lingers.
